The for Season 11 dropped with a lot of surprises, but were shocked when they saw the buffs that Mauga received. Mauga was quite overpowered when he was first released in Season 8, and this is not beyond the norm for new Heroes. Through patches, though, the devs ended up nerfing him to a place that most players were satisfied with.
However, thanks to the mid-season patch, Mauga is now almost unkillable, as he can heal up to 800 HP in three seconds with his Cardiac Overdrive. The Lifesteal of the ability was cranked up 100% in the patch, and the damage reduction Mauga gets was increased to 40%. This is a considerable buff, even though the ability doesn’t last as long as it used to.
It’s presenting some serious issues in games. Players have shared videos of how Mauga can now easily survive Roadhog’s Ultimate. In one of the more shocking reveals, he can also survive a full Bastion clip in turret form through Baptiste’s amplification window while Cardiac Overdrive is active.
Mauga wasn’t the only one to receive buffs either, as all Tanks received some changes. This led to frustration, as players feel that the devs have lost sight of what meaningful balancing are and that they don’t know how to make a 5v5 setup work anymore. For example, Junker Queen’s Commanding Shout now gives 175 overhealth, and the healing multiplier on Adrenaline Rush was increased to 2.
5x. While it may not be quite as bad as the changes Mauga received, it’s still making her incredibly difficu.
